Keep the sunny vibes going with warm hair colours. These tone tips will carry you from late Summer into Fall. Meaning if you’re a blond, choose a warmer, more golden shade and redheads should try a deep auburn. For brunettes? Shades like cocoa and chocolate are totally Anne Hathaway’s look in The Devil Wears Prada.
NOTICE ME HAIR COLOUR
Decide if you want a semi-permanent formula (that gradually washes out) or a permanent colour. Then choose from one of the following at-home hair colour kits to brighten up flat and dull tresses. They all promise to deliver a strong colour statement with great shine.
• Hair Today: Temporary and semi-permanent colour is perfect for commitment phobes. The colour washes out in only 4–6 shampoos.
vervegirl Recommends: L’Oréal Color Pulse Color Mousse in Café Latte, Clairol Herbal Essences Colorflirt Mousse in Copper Crush.
• Option to Renew: Feeling a bit more certain about what you want? A semi or demi-permanent colour is the way to go if you want your shade to last a bit longer.
vervegirl Recommends: Clairol Natural Instincts in Double Espresso (27A).
• Lasting Impression: Permanent dyes last until the coloured hair grows out. vervegirl Recommends: Clairol Herbal Essences in Golden Glam (19)/Medium Golden Blonde and Clairol Hydrience Cream in Spiced Bronze (30)/Medium Cinnamon Bronze
• Turn the Lights down Low: If you’ve been getting bright highlights all summer, it’s time to try some warmer lowlights. These warmer, deeper tones will correct over lightened hair, compliment your hair colour and add a sultry, shadowy effect. Lowlights are carefully applied to chosen strands of hair, creating interplay of light and dark on the hair surface.

Vervegirl Insider Tips:
Before you put the gloves on, here are a few things you should know:
1. If you have styling product build-up, it WILL interfere with the coloring process.
2. If you have very long or very thick hair, buy a second kit as one is probably not enough.
3. If your hair is very porous (meaning damaged), leave colour on for the MINIMUM recommended time. Hair will grab too much colour and result in a much darker shade than you anticipated
HANDLE WITH CARE Specially formulated shampoos and conditioners protect, nourish and restore your hair. These colour-care lines and intensive treatments help seal in shine and colour.
